Application filed March 28, ISES. (No model.) I

To @ZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, ELTON P. KENDALL and AMBRosE S. VosE, both citizensof the United States, residing at Windsor, in the county of Windsor andState of Vermont, have invented certain new and useful lmprovements inBeading-Tools; and we do declare t-he following to be a full, clear, andexact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilledin the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, referencebei/ng had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters or guresofreference marked thereon, which form a partof this specification.

Figure l of the drawings is a Vertical longitudinal section. Fig. 2 is aplan View. Fig.

3 is a detail view.

This invention relatesfto f improvements in tools for cutting the beadsand grooves of moldings and rosettes, and is adapted to be used oneither wood, stone, or iron.

Theinvention consists, essentially, in firmly binding, edge to edge, ina metallic block a number of bar-shaped cutters or chisels, the cuttingends of which are formed and arranged to constitute the reverse of thecontour of the molding, or one-half of the contour of the rosette to beformed.

The invention further consists in the construction of the cutting-edgesof the chisels hereinafter described.

Referring to the accompanying drawings by letter, A represents a blockof iron or steel, having on one of its side surfaces a. shallowrectangular recess or cut-away portion, A.

A2 is a rectangular vertical recess in the floor of the recess A',adjoining one side thereof, and for a purpose hereinafter explained.

B B are similar handles extending laterally from the side edges of theblock A, and B is a plate adapted to be secured to the block A by thescrews b b, so as to eover the recess A and bind the chisels,hereinafter described, between itself and the block in said recess.

C C, Src., are bar-shaped cutters or chisels of steel, rectangular insection, and with their sides parallel, so as to lie in the recess Awith their sides pressed equally at all points by the block and plate B.Their edges are also parallel, so that they will be bound together bythe pressure of the set-screw D, which passes through a threaded openingin the edge of the block below the handle B on the edge opposite therecess A2.

The ends of the chisels may be made concave, convex, rectilinear atvarious inclinations, or of any desired contour; but whatever thecontour of the end, its surface forms at all points a right angle witheach side, so that which has a pitch of ninety degrees. By this meansthe chisels may make either a draw cut or a push cut, according to thedirection in which the block is moved, (the inclination being varied tosuit the direction,) and, to complete the contour of the moldings, wouldmake a draw cut and a push alternately.

The chisels, asis evident, are longitudinally adjustable, eitherseparately or together in the block, and preferably have both endsprovided with cutting-edges, as shown.

C' is a modification of the ends of the chisels. In this case theVertical section of the end shows a U-shaped contour, the edges having aless pitch than ninety degrees.

One of the cutting-edges c may, if desired, be provided with the r'icksc c', to adapt it for certain kinds of work.

E is a bit having a rectangular shaft, e, and

. provided with the centering-point e' and head e2 on its lower andupper end, respectively. The shaft of the bit is held in the recess Alby the plate B', and its head is held for insertion into a brace orbitstock by which the bit and consequently the block and chisels areturned when forming a rosette. 'When the tool is used for moldings, thebit is removed and a rectangular shaft of the same diameter inserted inits place, against which shaft the chisels abut.

F is a gagesquare laterally adjustable on the block by means of a properslot and the set-screw f. The square is set so that its foot f will restagainst the top or bottom of the molding and bring the chisels to thedesired place. When turning rosettes, the gage-square is detached.

Itis evident from the foregoing that any contour of molding or rosettemay be formed by selecting the proper chisels and adjusting them toproper positions in the block A. Bosettes or moldings of differentwidths may be formed by binding on the block a greater or less number ofchisels.

the end has two cutting edges, c c, each of ICO secure the cutterstherein, and provided with 15 n recess to receive a gage-sqnare, thegagesquare F, arranged at right angles to the cutters in the saidrecess, and the screw f, for adjustably securing the same therein,substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof we ax` our si guatures in presence of twowitnesses.
